In cases of rape, I'm in favor of the assailant being castrated. If he's going to act like a savage animal, treat him like one! This way, he can't hurt you or anyone else ever again with a penis.
Nope. There's an actual Jedi technique involved in using Windows 8. I haven't quite figured it out though. I'm thinking of joining the Dark Side (Apple) instead.
It's like Warcraft. If you keep clicking on the sheep, they will eventually explode in frustration. So keep trolling them. If we're lucky, they will explode in their own home just behind the keyboard.
There's profit in scarcity. Some ISPs may start offering IPv6 only to mobile devices while public IPs (both static and dynamic) will require either a premium or business account. That means that home users get double-NATed. That in of itself breaks all sorts of network functionality including VPN and hosting/sharing files from home. So yes, the scarcity of IPv4 might rear its ugly head that will bite both the consumer and corporate America in the ass.
No it's not. It's one thing to hold past grievances against a company that have wronged you. It's your choice to not do business with them. However, you shouldn't have a bias against a product that has absolutely nothing to do with prior products of dubious functionality. This is a THERMAL PAD, not a root kit. There is no relevance here.
Jesus Christ!!! I knew the inflation was bad. But I had no idea it was at 12% per year. So basically, if you're setting on a bunch of cash in a savings account, 12% of it per year becomes worthless. Buying a house now seems like a good idea. But if unemployment doesn't get better and wages don't increase, what's the point? Just what does someone sitting on a lot of cash do? Watch its value evaporate in horror?
And why is it that we have such a large prison population? Is it because we have too much freedom? Are our leaders not oppressive enough. Are we too light handed on offenders and repeat offenders? Say, if you steal, your hands get chopped off as a message to others. Or, if you rape and maim, the perp should be shot to death on-site where he/she stands.
Not that I advocate, but clearly we have cultural issues that needed to be addressed. The high prison population is a result (not a cause) of this.
About the only thing going for Microsoft aside from Windows is Office and Exchange. I could live with Google filling the void left over by Microsoft. But if you want to talk about monopolist behavior, Apple defines the very definition. They're not quite up to the status of 'too-big-to-fail' like Microsoft is, but when they get there, we will all wish Microsoft and Google banded together to banish Sauron from these IT lands.
No. Microsoft is telling the entire industry they want to go after the mobile/entertainment segment. They don't really want to pursue the SMB and generic PC market anymore. They still have this fantasy of catering to the large enterprise market however. Which is laughable because those markets are filled with Linux clusters and ESXi boxes. Rumor has it the next version of Server will be PowerShell CLI only. Think Server Core edition for everything. GUI will be replaced by CLI more or less.
Microsoft is leaving their bread and butter under the assumption that the grass is greener on the other side. Steve Balmer should be FIRED!!!! The only reason Apple is succeeding as well as they have is because they opened up and exploited new market opportunities. By Microsoft leaving the turf market the they have now via chasing rainbows and waterfalls, they leave a lot of pissed off people in the wake and a gargantuan vacuum to be filled by....someone else. Will that be Google or Apple? Who knows. It sure as hell wont be Microsoft though. That's for damn sure!
To be fair, DirectX was still in it's infancy with version 2.0 that came with Window 95 OSR2. If you had the original version of Windows 95, DirectX was not included. It got installed with whatever application used it. Also, the Direct3D portion was extremely limited in functionality. Glide on the other hand was a very close cousin of OpenGL if I remember. In fact, a Voodoo1 card could run QuakeGL without trouble. Although it does beg the question as to why 3Dfx didn't just stick with OpenGL as the standard to begin with. Could be worse. It could have been worse. They could have ended up like Rendition with their own RRedline API.
I'm still amazed that someone as new as nVidia could come in and take on the establishment that was S3, Rendition, 3Dfx, PowerVR, and Matrox. Eventually even leaving SGI to wither on the vine in obsolescence. Just wow!
You must be talking about the Monster 3D II. The original Diamond Monster 3D was a Voodoo 1 card. SLI wasn't implemented until the Voodoo 2 series.
Ok, turning back the wayback machine here. But here's a breakdown (from memory) of my old but much loved gaming rig. The year was late 1996
CPU = Intel Pentium 166 Motherboard = Biostar AT with 430FX chipset RAM = 24MB of EDO Audio = Sound Blaster AWE34 PnP (long ISA card with upgradable SIMM banks) Modem = USRobotics Sportster 33.6 (internal ISA card) Storage1 = 1GB Conner IDE HDD Storage2 = 4x CDROM IDE Storage3 = 3.25 1.44MB Floppy drive Video1 = Diamond Stealth64 Video S3-Vision968 PCI with 2MB (upgradable to 4MB) of VRAM. Video2 = Diamond Monster 3D Input = Microsoft serial mouse and some generic AT keyboard.
That machine was a BOSS for its time. It owned all gaming back then. Never broke a sweat when playing Duke Nukem3D.
Total cost = shitloads. Actually, I don't remember. My parents paid for the base build as a graduation present. I just paid for the gaming upgrades.
Agreed. As someone whom works as a Consultant/Sysadmin for a managed service provider, I see plenty of SBS Servers out in the field. Oh, and Microsoft shoots themselves in the foot yet again! SBS 2011 will be the last version made.
Q33. Will there be a next version of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard?
A33. No. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard, which includes Exchange Server and Windows server component products, will be the final such Windows Server offering. This change is in response to small business market trends and behavior. The small business computing trends are moving in the direction of cloud computing for applications and services such as email, online back-up and line-of-business tools.
I know it's not a popular option around here, but when it comes to e-mail clients, MS Outlook has always been the gold standard as far as I'm concerned.
Good to know. Thanks! However, how is the average family in a modern city to know if they're getting too little or too much fluoride? In America at least, all cities have their tap water metered for the correct ratio. Right?
Actually, I liked Windows Gadgets. I still using many of the ones offers by http://addgadgets.com./ Specifically the CPU, Network, and GPU meters. Hands-down should be included in the official Windows 7 Gadgets list.
And contrary to what you say, lots of global warming skeptics believe we should stop all R&D toward reducing CO2 emissions. After all, they don't believe there's anything wrong with CO2, so why should we waste money trying to reduce it?
You're confusing the concept of priorities with goals. Want to spend money in R&D toward reducing CO2? Fine, go for it. But don't turn it into some seemingly damned manhattan project with what amounts to an unlimited budget at the tax payers expense. We are in a global recession. I would argue it's in fact a depression. CO2 research should go at the bottom of the fucking stack. When we're back in full force of the 90s boom, then we can elevate its priority accordingly.
During rush hour traffic, that law would be impossible to enforce. You can't leave the entire left lane open and clear for only looking to pass someone on the right lane. Often the flow of traffic among the different lanes will undulate at different speeds.
ec. 545.051. DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY. Texas Law
(a) An operator on a roadway of sufficient width shall drive on the right half of the roadway, unless: (1) the operator is passing another vehicle; (2) an obstruction necessitates moving the vehicle left of the center of the roadway and the operator yields the right-of-way to a vehicle that: (A) is moving in the proper direction on the unobstructed portion of the roadway; and (B) is an immediate hazard; (3) the operator is on a roadway divided into three marked lanes for traffic; or (4) the operator is on a roadway restricted to one-way traffic.
(b) An operator of a vehicle on a roadway moving more slowly than the normal speed of other vehicles at the time and place under the existing conditions shall drive in the right-hand lane available for vehicles, or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, unless the operator is: (1) passing another vehicle; or (2) preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
(c) An operator on a roadway having four or more lanes for moving vehicles and providing for two-way movement of vehicles may not drive left of the center line of the roadway except: (1) as authorized by an official traffic-control device designating a specified lane to the left side of the center of the roadway for use by a vehicle not otherwise permitted to use the lane; (2) under the conditions described by Subsection (a)(2); or (3) in crossing the center line to make a left turn into or out of an alley, private road, or driveway.
While I don't know, rush hour traffic be be considered an "obstruction" even if the cars in fact are moving. Also, "normal speed" is not the speed limit. It's the average speed among cars relative to each other. At least that's how it's been explained to me.
Technical, the parent is correct. Out of courteous respect though, I agree with you. I've personally found myself in a situation in which I'm going slightly above the speed limit in the far left lane. I'm passing cars for sure, but there was one truck creeping up on my ass. I simply changed one lane to my right so that he may pass shortly before changing back over to the left lane again. You never know, he/she could have been running on cruise control.

Depends. Males often become far less aggressive without the production of testosterone.
In cases of rape, I'm in favor of the assailant being castrated. If he's going to act like a savage animal, treat him like one! This way, he can't hurt you or anyone else ever again with a penis.
For a moment, I read that as Software Emulates Orgasim's Entire Lifespan.
Troll + Informative = Flamebate? Truth hurts.

It's relevant to any Sony discussion.
